In fact, the so-called overseas sales, in addition to movie theater releases, are mainly concentrated in TV stations and home entertainment channels.

Overseas offline distribution channels are still mainly based on licensing, and several other companies simply do not have the perfect offline distribution channels for animated films like Disney, there are no peripheral distribution channels, there are no close-knit cooperative manufacturers of toys and dolls, and there are no terminal sales outlets such as Disneytown and Disney stores...

The main thing is, they don't have theme parks on five continents like Disney!

Derivatives, toys, dolls, dolls, figures, etc., animated films are extremely profitable in this regard.

A lot of revenue is lost in the form of authorization alone.

But in this regard, DreamWorks simply has no room to meddle...

In addition, the big IP of "Kung Fu Panda" was robbed by Zhang Junsheng, and they only had "Shrek", "Madagascar", and later "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Crazy Primitives"...

In the future, DreamWorks will be even harder!

After the rise of superhero movies, they will become the new favorite of family watching, diverting the cake of animated movies...

Jeffrey, as the helmsman, of course saw this, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to find the peak, or Zhang Junsheng...

……

Talk about Jeffrey, who was the president of Disney's animation division at the time, and under his leadership, Disney launched "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin" and "The Lion King", and Disney animation reached its peak at one point!

And then, the power struggle was lost, and he was kicked out of Disney by Michael Eisner...

However, Disney paid about $250 million in non-compete fees, which means that they are not allowed to do business for five years.

The highest hush money ever paid in Hollywood!

The hush money is calculated based on market value, not randomly!

It can be seen how awesome Jeffrey was at that time!

Five years later, he established the DreamWorks animation label and insisted on releasing two and a half films every year.

What can you say about his status in Hollywood?

Every year on the night before the Oscars, all the stars of Hollywood gather at his house for a Katzenberg charity dinner...

Without any status, can you have such an appeal?

He's not a live-action movie like Harvey, just anime, there's no unspoken rules...

……

Zhang Junsheng directly proposed to buy DreamWorks, and Harris next to him was dumbfounded...

, DreamWorks, double the market value of the peak!

Snake swallowing elephant?

Who knew that Jeffrey was actually happy.

It can be seen that he is really difficult to operate now!

DreamWorks Animation's 25 million employees, all of whom are top anime producers, have to pay almost $20 million a month in salary alone!

It's a bit of a can't afford to raise it...

This guy is a bit idealistic...

Or Hollywood's big bosses have the illusion that if you have money, you should invest in movies...

He negotiated with Zhang Junsheng and talked about the bright prospects of a bunch of dream factories, with IP, technology, and a group of people who specialize in making animation films...

It's very American, let's go out and negotiate with someone, and if the other party wants to hand over business to you, and they describe themselves as heaven and earth, your first reaction is 'Why are you looking for me for this kind of good thing? Can't you do it yourself?'

How does this make Lao Mei answer?

You can't say you're rubbish, you can't do a good job...

In fact, his biggest problem, or DreamWorks' biggest problem, is that he relies too much on the box office of anime movies...

However, he is anxious to go to the box office, but Wall Street thinks that DreamWorks should be an independent animation production company!

It's paradoxical, from the establishment of the company gives the impression that the box office is very powerful...

If you want to engage in other businesses now, of course, you will be considered unprofessional!

Jeffrey said: "I was the president of Disney and presided over the development of Disneyland, and it had a big problem, it couldn't be opened in the north!"

Any place to do public business wants popularity, what you want is perennial, day and day, month and month, and there is a lot of popularity every day.

In the north in winter, the weather is cold and freezing, this kind of outdoor entertainment place, teach people how to go to the body and mind to relax and enjoy the fun?

Zhang Junsheng thought about it seriously, it seems that it is really like that, Disney's global layout, the northernmost theme park is Songjiang Disney, which is already very northern...

Big Lao Wang patted his head, Lao Tzu is in Jinan, Lao Tzu is in the whole theme park in Harbin...

Not at all about the climate...

Jeffrey pulled out the blueprint: "So, I want to build a topped theme park, I want to open a theme park in DreamWorks to the world!"

“…”

Hehe, do you have money?

Is it any wonder that the market value of DreamWorks is getting lower and lower, its main business is animation movies, and it wants to be a theme park?

How can Wall Street give you a high valuation!

And the theme park is such a thing, the investment is too big, domestic, Zhang Junsheng is a little bit unable to play, you still let me play with you?

What he meant was to let Zhang Junsheng merge at a premium, and then delist and privatize...

Privatized, he can do whatever he wants, build a theme park if he wants, and no one will say anything that is not doing his job...

But it's going to cost at least $6 billion...

Use Lao Tzu's money to fulfill your wishes?

Fool Lao Tzu in the Middle East?

Absolutely not, not negotiable!

Zhang Junsheng can't afford to pay so much...

After thinking about it, Zhang Junsheng asked, "What is the current market price of DreamWorks?"

"$28 per share..."

"You have 12 percent of the shares in DreamWorks, so I go to the market and sweep the shares to 13 percent, and then I give you the voting rights, but you can't sell your shares. After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "I will merge Summit and DreamWorks to form a large holding company, and the North American business will be taken care of by you!"

Without waiting for Jeffrey to speak, Zhang Junsheng continued: "I will set up a video website that specializes in short videos, and DreamWorks employees can upload their own short videos to the website... It also ensures that they have a job..."

Jeffrey shook his head: "... You don't agree to be a theme park?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Because I don't have that much money!"

“… Then let's go back to overseas distribution!"

Quite realistic, the Jewish businessman directly changed the subject ...

“…”

Why did Zhang Junsheng want to acquire DreamWorks?

In fact, he already has lighting entertainment, and the value created by Minions is not weaker than any IP!

He found that his biggest problem was that he didn't have a powerful spokesperson in North America!

Wen Ziren, not qualified enough, Harris, not either, she is doing anime...

However, Jeffrey definitely qualified!

If we could work with Jeffrey Katzenberg and put the North American business in his hands, the situation would be much better than it is now...
